The Australian Child Rights Taskforce

A new report from the Australian Child Rights Taskforce shows that one in six children in Australia still lives below the poverty line and more than 70,000 received assistance from specialist homelessness services, with no view of a long term solution.

All children are born with fundamental freedoms and inherent rights. These are the same human rights that adults enjoy but children also have the right to special protection because of their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse.
